No... the MOON! Rambaldi's followers made it to the moon. A secret piece is hidden in the flagpole from the flag we left behind up there (the CIA hid it there for safe keeping). But even though that flag's been sitting there umolested for 40+ years, the Covenant and the CIA (and the Trust, and the AFLCIO, and NAMBLA) will all suddenly try and capture it at exactly the same time, so we can have a gunfight were nobody except the "red shirts" get shot (unless it's sweeps, and then maybe Vaughan will get shot, but he'll be back for the next week).

I can stretch disbelief to believe that, maybe, some guy a few hundred years ago could loosely predict future events. And sure, maybe I can believe he was also a great inventor. But good lord... now we have some guy several centuries ago who, without the aid of supercomputers, could predict the exact DNA sequence of a person in our time, and who could also design a chemical that can manipulate muscles into drawing a picture? I think the cable holding up my disbelief snapped, and I'm watching it plummet into the river below.
